Two posts in two days? What gives?Well, I actually have some knitting to show! Dad is still in hospital, and probably will be for a couple more days, so I’m having to move in with Mam as my brother has to go back to work. This means I’m off today to get the house sorted […]

It’s review time again! Autumn is upon us already, can you believe it?Here goes with a review of Vogue/Designer Knitting Fall 2011.
